On the one hand, we're unconvinced that this isn't a particularly obscure joke based on the success of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, but on the other, they're making a movie out of Asteroids, for fuck's sake; all bets are off as to the visionary powers and/or sanity of movie executives. If it's true, however, we feel as if a new bar has been set for unlikely toy-based movies - and look forward to seeing who can take it further.
